Today, at work, I was told at the beginning of my shift that we would be enforcing a 4-item limit on hand sanitizer, toilet paper, etc. Not even 20 minutes later, I had 2 customers bitch me out. This is going to be a long shift, if not year. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, as an essential worker, some lady tore me a new one because we were out of large sanitizer bottles. Our doors opened at 9 a.m. and she didn't show up until 2 p.m. FML
Today, I was at work, stocking shelves. A customer got mad because I was in the way of her "shopping time" and knocked down all the work I had done. FML
Today, while I was working in a grocery store, a costumer decide to take a dump on the ground after I told him he couldn’t access to restrooms because my boss closed them due to COVID restrictions. FML
Today, at work as a manager at pizza place, I got yelled by a customer because they got one fewer paper plates than they asked for. FML
Today, I had to do the job of 3 to 4 people. Spending the first half in the bakery by myself, I then had to run over to the deli and cook everything for the day while helping lines of customers. Why? Because 8 people are on Covid leave. Instead of shutting down the department, welcome to hell. FML
Today, in the store I work at, I was screamed at multiple times for not staying 6 feet away from everyone. The store is packed, and there is not even 6 feet of free space to work with. FML
Today, my manager told my shift that if we didn't have the quota filled for cinnamon rolls by tonight, we were all out of a job. One of the machines we use to wrap cinnamon rolls just started acting up. We also aren't allowed to take over time. FML
Today, a customer filed a complaint against me because my coworker took too long to do a price check. I hate my job. FML
Today, during my shift at work, I started to feel really sick and started throwing up. While I had my head in a bag, I had several customers ask me for directions, and another customer abuse me for my lack of service. FML
Today, the block where I work had mandatory all-storefront works. I had to be there. The workers asked me for my ladder, cord extensions, driller, complained for 4 hours, and didn't clean after them. Now they're in front of my shop, loudly mocking my looks and clothes, I can hear them through the door. Nice day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Try telling people as they enter the store, not when they already have it in their basket at check out

Many of the stores I’ve been to place limit signs by the items. It’s likely these ppl already knew but felt entitled anyway and tried to bully their way into extra items.

Bring your manager over to deal with them. They're the one who made the rule, let the customer go right to the source.

Tell your managers to hire security. Several stores have already hired many of my guards

And yet there are some of us who genuinely need supplies but can't get them because of the same greedy bastards that are bitching you out. So sorry, OP. :(

You are seeing humanity at its worst right now. There are awful, greedy people out there. One one hand I feel sorry for your situation, on the other hand it is a good experience. Remember it always, and never treat people that way

They should post a sign that says “If you bitch & moan about the limit on toilet paper, you will IMMEDIATELY be redirected to the other paper products aisle where you’ll find a substitution.” Then make sure it’s the copy paper/notebook paper aisle!
